We Need More People Like The ‘Cajun John Wayne’, Lt. Higgins [OPINION]

When he looks straight into the camera and speaks on KATC's "Crimestoppers" program, Lt. Clay Higgins makes me want to turn myself in for crimes I didn't even commit!

Many are applauding his style: his straight-shooting approach with a serious demeanor, a squared-away appearance, and a slight empathy for the criminal - a perfect mix of authority and tough love. Lt. Higgins is winning the hearts of law-abiding citizens: not only in Acadiana, but the rest of the country is noticing him, too.

Do we need more officers like this on the force? I believe so. Men and women who uphold their oath, protect the constitutional rights of all citizens, regardless of their skin color, and truly live to serve and protect.
